Von Ehr founded Altsys Corporation to develop graphics applications for personal computers. Based in <a href="/wiki/Plano,_Texas" title="Plano, Texas">Plano, Texas</a>, the company initially produced font editing and conversion software; Fontastic Plus, Metamorphosis, and the Art Importer.<sup id="cite_ref-ref5_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref5-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Their premier PostScript font-design package, <a href="/wiki/Fontographer" title="Fontographer">Fontographer</a>, was released in 1986 and was the first such program on the market. With the <a href="/wiki/PostScript" title="PostScript">PostScript</a> background having been established by Fontographer, Altsys also developed FreeHand (originally called Masterpiece) as a Macintosh Postscript-based illustration program that used Bézier curves for drawing and was similar to Adobe Illustrator. FreeHand was announced as "... a Macintosh graphics program described as having all the features of Adobe's Illustrator plus drawing tools such as those in Mac Paint and Mac Draft and special effects similar to those in Cricket Draw."<sup id="cite_ref-ref6_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref6-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Seattle's Aldus Corporation acquired a licensing agreement with Altsys Corporation to release FreeHand along with their flagship product, <a href="/wiki/Adobe_PageMaker" title="Adobe PageMaker">Pagemaker</a>, and Aldus FreeHand 1.0 was released in 1988.<sup id="cite_ref-ref6_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref6-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> FreeHand's product name used intercaps; the F and H were capitalized. </p><p>The partnership between the two companies continued with Altsys developing FreeHand and with Aldus controlling marketing and sales. After 1988, a competitive exchange between Aldus FreeHand and Adobe Illustrator ensued on the <a href="/wiki/Macintosh" class="mw-redirect" title="Macintosh">Macintosh</a> platform with each software advancing new tools, achieving better speed, and matching significant features. Windows PC development also allowed Illustrator 2 (aka, Illustrator 88 on the Mac) and FreeHand 3 to release Windows versions to the graphics market. </p><p><b>FreeHand 1.0 sold for $495 in 1988.</b> It included the standard drawing tools and features as other draw programs including special effects in fills and screens, text manipulation tools, and full support for CMYK color printing. It was also possible to create and insert PostScript routines anywhere within the program. FreeHand performed in preview mode instead of keyline mode but performance was slower. </p><p><b>FreeHand 2.0 sold for $495 in 1989.</b> Besides improving on the features of FreeHand 1.0, FreeHand 2 added faster operation, <a href="/wiki/Pantone" title="Pantone">Pantone</a> colors, stroked text, flexible fill patterns and automatically import graphic assets from other programs. It added accurate control over a color monitor screen display, limited only by its resolution. </p><p><b>FreeHand 3.0 sold for $595 in 1991.</b> New features included resizable color, style, and layer panels including an Attributes menu. Also tighter precision of both the existing tools and aligning of objects. FH3 created compound Paths. Text could be converted to paths, applied to an ellipse, or made vertical. Carried over from version 1.0, FreeHand 3 suffered by having text entered into a dialog box instead of directly to the page. In October 1991, a 3.1 upgrade made FreeHand work with System 7 but additionally, it supported pressure-sensitive drawing which offered varying line widths with a users stroke. It improved element manipulation and added more import/export options.<sup id="cite_ref-ref7_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref7-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><b>FreeHand 4.0 sold for $595 in 1994.</b> Altsys ported FreeHand 3.0 to the <a href="/wiki/NeXT" title="NeXT">NeXT</a> system creating a new program named Virtuoso.<sup id="cite_ref-ref8_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ref8-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Virtuoso continued its development at Altsys and version 2.0 of Virtuoso was feature-equivalent to FreeHand 4 (with the addition of NeXT-specific features such as Services and Display PostScript) and file compatible, with Virtuoso 2 able to open FreeHand 4 files and vice versa. A prominent feature of this version was the ability to type directly into the page and wrap inside or outside any shape. It also included drag-and-drop color imaging, a larger pasteboard, and a user interface that featured floating, rollup panels. The colors palette included a color mixer for adding new colors to the swatch list.
